Default Headlamp Visor for my sporty

I am wanting a headlamp visor so bad for my Iron but they cost so much. I was just wandering if there are any other option for P/N 68129-97. I could save 100 bucks by getting it primed but i just dont know any decent painters yet so im just thnking of the vivid black. If anyone has a used one in good shape or if there is any other options through other companys then please post them. Thanks you guys!

Easy to rattle can that sucker in flat or semi-gloss. "You don't need no stinking painters"
Simple DIY job.

Yeah the thought crossed my mind to rattle can it. I just want it to look good though. I can save $100 by getting it primed. I did talk to a local painter that has been in business for 40 yrs. He said he wouldnt charge me nothing to shoot it. All i need is to get me some paint!

Have you checked on the price of automotive paint ?? It ain't cheap! (and you are concerned w/cost)
DIY and if you f-up, sand it and do it again. You will learn something!!! Plus there is a certain pride in being able to say"I built, painted or fabbed that part myself.
Do you want a gloss or flat finish?
